Last year I ordered a jacket for outdoor wear. I looked at the measurements, and thought I’m in between sizes. I decided to err on the larger side since I knew I’d be wearing layers to keep me warm. Even with my bulkiest sweater, I swim in this jacket. Outerwear company Beyond aims to give you the perfect fit, even with online orders. The company has you fill out a form with all your measurements and custom makes the garment to fit you. That’s better than you’ll get, even in a brick-and-mortar store.
This fall Beyond will offer its Baker Jacket. The jacket is both waterproof and insulated. It has a 2.5 Layer waterproof, breathable shell using PrimaLoft ONE insulation. PrimaLoft ONE insulation is a warm, soft and packable grade of water-resistant thermal insulation.
The basic configuration of the jacket comes with a two-way zipper and large zippered hand pockets. It also comes with a hip shock cord.
In addition to the custom-fit size, certain features of the jacket are customizable. Options include a ripstop, encapsulated ripstop or waterproof and breathable fabric; pit zips to let air in; elastic or laser cut Velcro cuffs; a permanently attached hood and mesh inner hanging pocket. The custom sizing and configuration options make the Baker Jacket yours. The base price is $450.
